OVERVIEW

  Do you organise sporting competitions?

  Home or Away will schedule your teams in a round-robin competition
  at lightning fast speed, treating each team as equally as possible. 
  Basic schedules can be created in just a few minutes. All you have
  to do is enter the names of the teams, press the schedule button
  and print the results. Home or Away does not force you to enter 
  any information that it does not need or cannot work out for itself. 


  Are your scheduling needs more complex?

  Home or Away is just as comfortable with more advanced schedules. 
  You can schedule competitions with as many as forty teams rostered 
  for a whole season or one day tournaments. You can manually change
  any of the games that Home or Away schedules and it will even
  reschedule around your changes!
